Wolsey Lodges B&Bs are particularly good at meetings: families reuniting, friends renewing distant friendships or special-interest groups such as classic car enthusiasts, artists, rambling groups or even tour groups. Almost all Wolsey Lodges will take whole-house bookings and many can also lay on celebratory meals.

Convention says that B&B accommodation doesn’t work for families. But Wolsey Lodge owners tend to be hospitable souls and are more than happy to wheel out trundle beds or unfold travel cots. And even if the main B&B isn’t really geared up for children, often they have self-contained options that will work better.

It’s not easy to define what makes a Wolsey Lodge B&B. They’re as varied and distinctive as the owners themselves. What makes a Wolsey Lodge is subtle, and most easily demonstrated through a sample of member lodges.
